This mandatory document makes it possible to hire the real estate agent in charge of the sale, but also the seller. Each party can thus benefit from this sale, with regard to its steps. There are three types of mandates: \u00a0the simple<\/strong>, \u00a0the exclusive mandate and the semi-exclusive mandate<\/strong>. The latter is a perfect blend of the first two and offers many advantages. Nevertheless, like all contracts, it also has some drawbacks. Discover the strengths and weaknesses of this hybrid sales mandate.<\/p>\n

What are the commitments of a semi-exclusive mandate?<\/h2>\n

The semi-exclusive<\/strong> mandate, just like the exclusive mandate, requires you to get closer to a single real estate agency <\/strong>to help you sell your property. Exclusivity has advantages, such as the attractiveness of the property and the involvement of the real estate agent who will take care of your file. But since it forces you to designate only one real estate agency, you must be sure of your choice when signing the mandate. Indeed, it commits you in time<\/strong>. If the mandate expires without the property being sold, you will not be able to turn to another agency to put your property back on sale.<\/p>\n

Similarly, as with the simple mandate, you can sell the property to an individual without going through the agency<\/strong> with which you are under contract. This mandate allows you to manage the sale on your side, while benefitinghere from the exclusivity of a real estate agency. Be careful, however, not to sell a property on your side to a buyer who would have been presented to you by the agency. The visit voucher given by the real estate agent and signed by the potential buyer during a visitis authentic. In this case, you are required to pay the commission to the real estate agent who put you in touch with the buyer. In the same way, you must systematically inform the agency before selling to an individual<\/strong> in order to verify that the latter has not known the property through the agency. This protects the real estate agent and values his work.<\/p>\n

Definition of semi-exclusive mandate<\/h2>\n

Initially, real estate had two distinct types<\/strong> of sales mandates: the simple mandat and the exclusive mandate. The simple mandate allows you to place your property for sale in several real estate agencies while keeping the possibility of a direct sale. More flexible, it is also less advantageous if you are looking to sell quickly. The exclusive mandate, meanwhile, gives the monopoly of the sale of the property to a single real estate agency. You will therefore have no control over the sale, but you will benefit from the involvement of an agent who will relieve you of all his constraints.<\/p>\n

The semi-exclusive mandate appeared to keep the best of the two<\/strong> previous mandates, offering you expertise and freedom. Indeed, this hybrid sales mandate is the happy medium between the simple, more flexible mandate and the exclusive, stricter mandate. He commits the real estate agent to sell the property within a given time, using all the resources at his disposal. It also allows the seller to proceed with the real estate sale himself<\/strong>. He can then use his own resources: sales websites between individuals, specialized press, word-of-mouth, local newspaper, etc. The only condition is the verification, upstream, that a particular buyer has not gone through the agency before.<\/p>\n

\u00a0What advantages does the semi-exclusive mandate offer?<\/h2>\n

The semi-exclusive mandate offers you the exclusivity of a real estate agency and the possibility of direct sales<\/strong>, in the same contract. You benefit from the expertise of a professional involved in the sale of your property. Indeed, going through a real estate agency<\/strong> has many advantages<\/strong> :<\/p>\n
